They were contained due to Daleys cops and NG, actively keeping them in confined areas. I remember the reporters live from a hotel room about 8 stories up from he ground saying. We can feel the tear gas this high up.

It's interesting to note, for the younger crowd, The Chicago convention riots were at the DNC Convention. The yippies (Abbie Hoffman & Jerry Rubin) organized the protest along with 1 or 2 other groups. Daley issued 1 permit to assemble, at Lincoln Park. BUT instituted a curfew (11 pm?) After that hour when the "protesters" didn't disperse. is when Daley's side let loose. Under the guise of hey they didn't obey the curfew.

Compare those tactics of the Democrat ran city. To today's D tactics, where they hope ignoring, as well as supporting the protesters, it goes away.
